The Army’s schoolhouse learning model is evolving.
Fading are images of instructors standing at podiums and distributing information via computer slideshows; practices that emphasize muscle memory as the chief means to learning; and classrooms bound by walls.
Emerging is a new learning environment that’s dynamic and interactive. Called the Army Learning Model 2015, known as ALM 2015, it leverages technology, defines a learning continuum and describes a shared responsibility for learning amongst the individual Soldier and the institutional and operational components.
ALM 2015 is scheduled to be in full effect by October, but has rapidly taken shape at the Ordnance School’s Armament and Electronics Maintenance Training Department. Its Land Combat Division, or LCD, is one of several within the schoolhouse that has implemented changes to its curriculum and training processes to satisfy the requirements of ALM 2015.
